The Civil War
(1861-1865)
The American Civil War is one of the most fascinating time periods in World History. The plots and sub-plots, strategies, characters, and locations all make this a History Major's Dream...it's too bad I chose Business Administration! Ha Ha. I invite you all to sit back and relax as I take you through Five Tumultous Years in Five Minutes.
